If I could transform my thoughts into art, I would create a masterpiece beyond what has ever been created, because with my imagination and my dream for fantasy, I am able to imagine peace and no suffering, love and no violence, happiness and no hatred. If I could transform my thoughts into art, I would create a masterpiece beyond what has ever been created. 

Revealed: The real Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Last updated at 12:20 01 June 2007

Forty years after The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper LP was released, a housewife from Surbiton is claiming she inspired the track Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

Lucy Vodden, 43, was at nursery school in Weybridge with John Lennon's son Julian, who one day took home a drawing of a girl surrounded by stars.

When John asked him to describe he said, "It's Lucy in the sky with diamonds,".

                   Lucy Vodden, 43, was at nursery school in Weybridge with Julian Lennon

                            The painting that inspired the song

Julian later confirmed this: "I don't know why I called it that or why it stood out from all my other drawings, but I obviously had an affection for Lucy at that age.

"I used to show dad everything I'd built or painted at school, and this one sparked off the idea for a song about Lucy in the sky with diamonds."

Beatles biographers and account by band members confirm that she is the most likely source of the song.

                                   A young Lucy O'Donnell

Mrs Vodden said: "I can imagine him saying, 'That's Lucy at school,' and his father asking questions like "What's that in the sky?'"

There has been much specualtion about the song, many believe that it is an ode to LSD.

"When I told a couple of friends that Lucy in the sky with diamonds was about me, they said, 'No, it can't be, it's to do with LSD.' I was too embarrased to tell them that I didn't know what LSD was."

Julian's mother Cynthia has said that she has kept the picture.

And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But who's to blame?
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.

And Aubrey was her name.
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,

But God I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.

And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.

But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.

Angel came down from heaven yesterday,
Stayed with me just long enough
For afternoon tea
And she told me a story yesterday;
About the sweet love between
The moon and the deep blue sea.

And when it was time for her to go
She spread her wings high over me.
And she said "I shall return tomorrow"

And I said "fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Tomorrow I look for you by my side"

If sure enough,
This morning comes to me.
With silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And as the blue birds and sparrows envy me
She says "I love you little boy but today you shall fly"

She kissed me once
And the feeling's so good she made me cry
And now we can fly together.

And I say "Fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel...
Together we shall always be high"

-Jimi Hendrix
